How did they do this? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found the "look" I want for my 72 LWB in regards to stance.
White truck on the cover of LMC TRUCK, 2003 Winter Edition CB.32.
Bet that the rims and tires have something to do with it, but that is how I would like my truck to sit after lowering.
Anyone venture a guess as to how they did it?
Thanks

Would like to rebuild the front suspension on my 72 C10 and need advice on parts.
All new Moog stuff is approx. $500.
By using (when possible) the "Red" line offered by Moog it comes to approx. $400.
LMC offers a complete kit, including springs, for $400.
How much difference is there in quality, and should I look elsewhere?
To add to the mix, I'd also like to lower the front 2 - 3 inches.
Thanks

Sorry.
I made multiple posts under the same subject. Duh.
I'll leave it this way in the hope that someone can answer all my questions.

Moog is the best way to go, real Moog, that is. I got hold of the Red Line stuff, the tie rods and had some Moog ones on the self. The pic says it all, Real Moog is on the left. You can see that the bearing head is much larger than the Red Line stuff. It might be made by Moog or it just has the same part number but if it's not in the blue and yellow Moog Box, it's not the best. I'm holding on to the cheap stuff as a spare till I get some more moog parts, then they go to E-bay.
